Orthodoxy

There are various types of Orthodoxy including Serbian Orthodox, Romanian Orthodox, Bulgarian Orthodox, etc.

The “people of the book” (Islam, Christianity, and Judaisim) all have mystic sects of their religion

Mystic sects emphasize the connection of man to their respective gods

The Origins of Orthodoxy in the Balkans

In the year 863 brothers Cyril and Methodius went on a mission to convert the Slavs, but the Slavic language at the time was without a script. In order to give the Slavs the Bible, Cyril and Methodius created a script making the Bible accessible to them.

They helped to “turn the vernacular of the Slavs into the Cyrillic alphabet.”

The original script was Glagolitic, but was eventually changed to Cyrillic, an alphabet based upon Greek

Slavic was one of only three languages accepted for liturgy in medieval Christendom
